CALCULATING-MAGHINE.

Application filed Ianuary, 1911. Serial No. s.@27.

To all whom t may concern i Be it known that I, FRANCIS A. HOPKINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at (lhcagopin the cunty of Cook and State ot' Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CalculatingeMa chines, of which the following is a specification.

This inventionrelates to improvements in algebraic calculating machines-i. e., those embodying means adapted to register negative and positive amounts, or debit-s and credits indiscriminately and show the correct resultant, and indicate whether the resultant is negative or positive.

` A type ot' algebraic calculating machines is shown and described in the application oit' Samuel E. Carlin, Serial No. 580,569, filed in theUnited States Patent Gliice on or about September G, 1910, in-connection with which machine the present invention 'will be described, and such parts of said ma chine are herein shown and described as will enable an' understanding to be had' of my present invention.

In algebraic calculating machines the pas sage of the operation through zero results in a deficito'f one unit in the resultant. In order, therefore, to indicate the correct result on the register,.,it is necessary to add one unit thereto leither manually or automatically. In the Carlin machine above referred to, it. is'addetl automatically each time zero is passed in the operation of the mechanism. It is a' fact, however, that such an algebraic ,calculating machine even without this au- `toma-tic means would always rectiliy the deticit caused by the passing of the mechanism through zero in one direction when the operation of the mechanism through zer-o again takes place in theopposite direction so that in extended calculations involvingv the passing of the mechanism through zero back and forth numerous times, the deficit need be added only at the conclusion of the calculation if it be duc, but the dil'liculty in thus deferring the correction of thev resultant lies in keeping traclr of the number of operations; or in other wr'dswhether the last operation was in a direction to create the deticit or to correct it.

'llie primary objectjof this invention, therefore, the .provision otjneans, in en algebraic calculating machine, for signifying when the said deficit exists so that the `Speeication of Letters Patent.

iatented Sept. 17, 1912.

operator may know when to correct the resnltant.

A further object is the provision of means for showing automatically that the deficit has been supplied or the resultantrectified so that the operator may not through con fusion or. forgetfulness add the amount of the deficit when the resultant is correct.

A further object of the invention is the provision of means for adding the deficit combined with means for automatically lockingthe first said means against operation save when the deficit exists.

A further object is to provide an iniproved machine of this character having manually controlled means for supplying an additional digit, and means whereby the manually controlled means may be locked against actuation after theadditional digit add this additional digit.

A. further object is to provide an improved machine of this character which will be simple, durable, and cheap in construction, and effective, eliicient and positiv@ iii its ac tion.

To the attainment of these ends and the accomplishment of other new and useful objects, as will appear, the invention consists inthe features of novelty in theconstruction, operation and arrangements otthe parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed and shown in the accompanying drawings illustrating the embodiment ot' the invent-ion, and in which- Figure l is a vertical transverse sectional view of a portion of a calculating machine having the mechanism applied thereto constructed in accordance 'with the principles of this invention.

Referring more particularly to the'draivings, the machine to which, this invention is particularly adapted, though not necessarily limited 'in its use thereto, embodies a plurality of what might be termed power shafts Q0 (see Figs. 5 and 6), any number of which may be provided, preferably one for eachof the number bearing members of the totalizers to be hereinafter referred to. li/.ounted upon and secured to each of these shafts Q0 for rotation therewith are mutilated gears 2l which latter impart a variable movement to operating shafts 22, the latter' being located in close proximity to the shafts 20, preferably directly above the respective shafts. traveling Oear Q3 is mounted `upon each of the shafts 22 for rotation therewith and these gears 23 are adapted to be positioned Awith respect to the mutilated gears 21 by the operation of the keys which control the selecting mechanisms shown and' described in the application above referred to. vThere isl also provided a running shaft 24, Which latter receives its motion from any suitable source of power and secured to and for rotation with this shaft .24 is a star or toothed member 25. A disk QG is mounted loosely upon the shaft Q4 and carried by this disk is a 'pavvl 27, which is adapted to coperate With the star or toothed wheel 25.to lock the disk 26 to the shaft 24 for rotation therewith when the space bar of the machine is operated in the manner which will be brieliy described. fr gear Q8 is also mounted loosely upon thc shaft 24 and is secured to the disk Q6 for rotation therewith. 'lhis'gear Q8 meshes with a companion Ona shaft Q9 Which latter is arranged ad- Ajacent and parallel to the shaft so that when the disk lockedto the shaft 24 the gear 28 will be rotated by this running shaft and the motion of i,iis gear will be imparted to the shaft 29 through vthe medium of the gear (not shown) with which the `tear Q8 meshes; rlhis shaft 29 is provided for the purpose of communicating the motion of the Arunning` shaft Q4 to thevpower shafts 2O and is accomplished by means of a bevel gear 3G secured to the shaft 29 for rotation therewith 'and this bevel gear 30 meshes with a companion gear 3l secured to a shaft 32 and which shaft is arranged adjacent and transversely With respect to the ends of the power shafts 20. Each of these shafts 2O is provided with a bevel gear 33 Wh'ch meshes with .a companion gear 34 on the shaft 32.

A space baris provided which is adapted to be actuated after the mechanisms have been setby the actuating keys of the machine, for imparting motion to the various power shafts 20. rhis space bar is provided With a stem C55 (see particularly Fig. 5) which is connected to a rock shaft 36 and this rock shaft is journaled in suitable supports 37, 38. The extremity of the rock vshaft terminates adjacent the disk 2G and a dog or pawl 39 is moi nted loosely upon the extremity of the rock shaft. One extremity of this dog or paWl coperates with the dog 27 and is adapted to engage a shoulder on the dog for-liftingl the latter out of engagement Withl the star or toothed Wheel 25, against the tension of an elastic member which is provided and which tends normally to move the dog 27 into engagement with thc star or toothed wheel. Secured to the other end of the dogl or patvl 39 is a laterally projecting pin or lug 40 which projects into the path of movement of a laterally projecting pin or lugl 41 on the shaft 36'. lllhen the dosr orpawl 49 is in an operating,` position to hold the dog Q7 out of engagement with the star or toothed wheel 25, the pin 40 Will assume a positionthat when the shaft 36 is rocked by the stem 35 of the space bar, the pin 4l will engage the pin 40 to rock the dog or pawl .39 in 'such manner as to release the dog or pawl Q7 to permit the latter to engage the star or toothed wheel 25 to lock the disk 26 and gear 28 for rotation with the running shaft 24.

The number bearing members 42 (reference being now had more particularly to Fig. G) are secured to shafts 43 for rotation therewith. These shafts 43 are mounted in suitable lbearings in close proximity to and preferably above the respective operating shafts 22. IGears 44, 45, are loosely mounted on the shafts 43 and a clutch member 46 is vkeyed to'the shaft 43 to loe moved into and out of engagement with either of the gears 44, 45, to lock the latter to the shaft. A shifting member 47 is provided for shiftingr the clutch '46 and gears 48, 49, are secured to the shaft 22 and cooperatel with the respective gea-rs 44, 45. The gear 48 meshes directly with the gear 44 and the gear 49 meshes with an intermediate gear 50, which' latter meshes with the gear 45 for control-l ling the direction of rotation of the number bearing member 42. V

The carrying from one of the number bearing members 42 to thencxt adiacent number bea-ring member is effected by means of a, one-toothed gear 5l (see also Fig'. l)

yactuate the respective dogs 59 when the one of which is secured to each of the shafts 20 and this one-toothed gear is adapted to cooperate -with a gean/l. on the shaft 22, which latter gear isl adapted to be shifted 'longitudinally on the shaft 22 so that the gear 52 Will be moved out of a position to be engaged by the one-toothed gear 51, by

means of a rock shaft- 53 to which pins 5i `ing member of tli'e highest denomination,

and this cam operates ofi the anti-friction roller 58 to rock the shaft 53 after the carrying operation has taken place.

Th'e gears 52 are normally heid in their inoperating positions by means of what might be termed carrying dogs 59 (see Fig. 1)' one end of which is adapted to pass behind the end pf the collar on the respective gears` 52 when the latter are shifted in the manner just described, against the tension of the elastic member 56, and 'an elastic member 60 is provided for causing the carrying dogs to assume this position. These dogs 59 are tripped by means of a ,cam 61 (see also Fig. 6) one of which is carried by each of the number bearing members 4.2 and are so positioned that they will number bearing members cross the zero point in either direction.

-The numbers or characters on the number .bearing membeiisr42 vare exposed through suitable openings 62 in the casing (32S (see l1 ig. 2) and in order to'dircet the attention of the operatorto tlieproper series of numbers on the number bearing members` of which there are two series, the shiftahle Ashield or indicator 64 is provided` the latter being provided with two series of apertures or openings 65, 6G, therethrough and are so arranged that when the shield or indicator (i4 is shifted in one direction, one of the se'- ries of openings will expose a character in onev of the series of numbers on the number bearing members whi-le the other series of openings in the shiftable shield or indicator' Will pass under a portion of the frame work;y so that theshield or indicator will conceal' the numbers in the other series on the number bearing membt'irs.v The shield or-'mdicator 64. is adapted to be automatically shiftedl in one' direction or the other Vi'ivlienever the highest number bearing' member/i2 crosses tliezero point in either di- .rectiwon and thisjisaccomplished by means of the canior project-ion G7 (see Fig. l) which ,poperates With'theyielding dogs G8, GS),

vcarried by the shield' or indicator. All of the above described mechanism, however. forms no lpart of the present invention and is clearly described in detail in the application above referred to.

Owing to the mechanical construction @and the relation of the numbers of the two the highest denomination crosses the zero point in either direction, and after the calcnlation has been completed. In order, therefore, to indicate a correct amount on the number bearing members, it is necessary to supply this additional cent. and it is more particularly the object of the present invention to provide manmilly-controlled mechanism whereby this cent may be added at the proper time. l'tis also thc object. of the present invention to. provide means for giving notice to the operator by exposing' a sign to'this ellect, and which notice or sign will bc concealed or taken d own automatically when the cent l has been added. Suitable ellicient mechanism for accomplishing this result will now be described.

A supplemental shield or shutter 7() (reference being now had more particularly to Figs, 2, 7 and is provided, which cooperates with the shield (S-'land is mounted to move with the shield -t and also independently with respect thereto. For this purpose guides 71 are provided which are secured to the shield (Salland project through apertures 72, v73, in the portion (3:3 of the frame work. rlhe shield .64 is preferably arranged beneath the portion (S3 of the fran'le work while thesupplemental shield or shutter is arranged on the opposite side of the portion (13 of the -ifrainework The guides-71 project beyond the outer face of the frame work to receive the supplemental shield or shutter 70. Thus it will be seen that when the shield 64 is shifted in the manner already described, the supplemental shield or shutter will be correspondingly shifted, the opening 72, 73. in the portion of the frame work- Gs beingl wide enough to permit. this movement oit' the supplemont al shield or shutter with the shield (34. The supplemental shield or shutter is provided with a. slot or opening 74e and is adapted when the shut-ter or simplemental shield is shifted with respect to the shield 64. to expose or conceal a legend or notice 7 5 Add le and which latter is preferably placed upon the portion 68 of the frame Work. The supplemental shield or shutter is provided along one edge with notches Z6 and along the opposite edge with notches 7T. Cooperating with the notches is a fixed linger or projection 7S having a tapered extremity adapted to enter the notches 7G. A, similar tired projection 'or finger 79 is arranged to cooperate with the notches 77 or the lopposite edge of the supplemental shield or shutter TF0, and Athese. lingers or projections 78, T9, are spaced trom each other a suitable distancey so that they will not interfere with the proper operation of the shield or shutter 70. Arranged along another side oi' 'the supplemental shield or shutter 7() are notches SO with which a yieldingdog Sl cooperates and this yielding dog' is preferably mounted upon a.` fixed or stationary portion of themachine and is provided with a tapered extremity' S2 adapted to enter the notches 80. lWith this improved construction it will be apparent, and assuming' that the supplemental shield or shutter is in the position with reispeet-to the shield 6, shown vin Fig. 2, when the shield or shutter 64 isshitted to the right so as to move the series ot openings (55 'into register with the openings (SQ,

and the series o-t openings lGG out., ot regjister with the openings (S2, the supplemental shield or shutter Will he moved toward the right with the shield tlf-linasmuch as it is connected tot-he latter 'for movement thereivith. As they inove toward the right, and inasmuch as the linger or projection 78 is stationary, it will be apparent that the wall of. the notch into which the tapered eX- trcmity ot the projection 78 projects, will ride over the projection, which will shift the supplemental shield or shutter laterally with respect to the shield in a direction to move the opening Pl so as to expose the legend i5. As the supplemental shield or shutter is thus shifted laterally, the ivall ot the notch intoivhich the extrei'nity of the yielding` dog Sl projects, ivill ride over the extremity ot the di g and shift the latter against the tension et Tthe elastic member S. ly the time the extremity et the projection 78 reaches the extremity ot the tooth St formed between the notches T6, the eX- tremity S2 of the dog 8l will assume a position with respect to the tooth S5 between the notches 80, that the elastic member S8 will act upon the dog` 8]. to torce' the latter into the next notch 8() and thereby carry the 'supplemental shield or shutter into a. position which will expose the legend. ln other Words, the projection 78 acts as a means 'to start the shield 'TO in a direction to expose the legend while the dog Si serves as a means for ca Tying the supplemental shield or shutter into its proper position,

By the time the supplemental shield'l'O' has reached a position to expose the legend and has also reached the limit of its movement toward the right, one of the notches, the notch on the lett, will assume a position to receive the projection 79. Assuming new that the parts are in the position just described, that is, With the projection 79 extending into the lett-hand notch 77 and the extremity 82 of the dog 8l projecting into the foremost notch 80, it Will be apparent that when the shield G4 is shifted toward the let't, the operation will be rc versed, that is, the projection 79 will act upon the supplemental shield or shutter 7() to start it in a direction to conceal or cover the legend 75, and after it has been started,

and hasreachcd the proper position with respect to the shield 64, the dog 81 Will act in a similar manner to shiit or carrythe supplemental shield a sutlicientcdistance to cover the legend. Assuming noivthat the supplemental shield or shutter 7() has assumed a position to expose the legeiid 75, it will notify the operator that in order to obtain an accurate statement to the amounts on the number bearing members 42, one cent must be added. be added according to the present eXempli;

lication ot the invention in the manner" which will now be described.

Secured to the running shaft 24 and for rotation therewith is a star or toothed Wheel 8G similar to the st-ar or toothed wheel 25. A disk 8T similar to the disk 2G is loosely mounted on the shaft Q/l. A dog S8 similar to the dog' Q7 is carried by the disk 87 and cooperates. with the star or toothed ivheel Se, an elastic member 89 being provided which tends normally to move the dog into engagement with the star or toothed Wheel 8G. This dog` SS is provided with a shoulder 90 and another dog or pawl 91 is loosely lmounted on a rock shattl 92- and cooperates with the dog 88 by engaging' the shoulder 90 thereot' to move the dos; 88 out et engagement with the star or toothed Wheel 8G against the tension lot the elastic member to release the disk S7. A key 93 is provided which pretera bly projects through the portion 63 oit the casing and in a convenient position for the operator and which key is provided with stem 94e for rocking-the This cent may.

Thus it will be seen that when the hey 93 is depressed or actuated, the doe1 88 will be released and the disk 87 will be locked orrotation with the shaft lt is only necessary, theretore. in order to add the necessary cent7 to the number bearing` members 42, to convey this motion of the shaft 24 to the numher beariing` members and inasmuch as it 1s necessary to impart rotation to the shaft to accomplish this result, it will be ap-A parent that the gear 28 must also be locked 55 takes, to provide means for takingr down possesso.

purpose there is provided a cain'l 95 Whit:

secured to the disk 87 for rotation therew ththei legend (5.

yand this cam 95 is adapted to enga an'arm 96 on the rock shaft. 92 so that when the cam 9 5 is rotated the shaft 92 will be rocked. After the disk 87 is locked to lthe shaft 2e in the manner just described, the vcam will act uponthe arm-96 torcck the shaft 92 and thereby 'in'ove an'arm Ior projection 97 on the shaft 9 2 into engagement with a projection 98 on the dog 39 sov as to` rock the latter .about its point of pivotal support, which movement will release the dog -Q7".and the? disk 26 vand gear 28 will thenbe locked to vthe shaft. .24 in the manner already described. As-the gear28 and the disk 87 are adapted to niallze.` one complete revolution and-then'be released. from the shaft 24:, it

vwill be apparent that-fatter the addition of .this cent lf theniechanism will he thrown ont of operation, provided that the key 93 has been released. When thus released an -ela'stic-{neinber 99 will return the key to its norinalposition and the dog 91 to a posivv 4tionin which it will engage the shoulder 90 ofthe dop; 88 to move the latter out of en' Icarrement with the star or toothed wheel S6. A yielding dog 100 is provided for locking the disk 8 7 and cam 95 against oven .From the above description it is thought `that the operation will now be clearly understo od,'andv it will thus be seen that after the shield 04 has been shifted and the sup pl-emcntal shield or shutter 70 hes also been shifted with respect to the shield 64 to eX- pose the legend 7 5, and the operator has depressed the key 93. the necessary cent will beadded to the amount exposed on t-he number' bearing members 42. With the mechanism thus fardescribed, it will also be apparent that the legend 75 Will, still be L exposed and would notify the operator that members might be such that the shield or inone cent7 must still be added even after the cent has already been added, and this would indicate an inaccurate result. This would he true unless the shield 64: is again` shifted to the left. The resultant which is exposed lon the number bearing dicator 64 will not he shifted to the left and unless this legend is taken down or concealed, mistakes will be liable to occur. it is tl'icrefore necessary` in order to avoid mise or concealing,r this legend after the cent l has been added and bctore the shield (lt is again shifted to another position. Suitable mechanism 'for accomplishing this result L will non" be described.

6?. is a. bell crank lever 102, one arm 10? oli-which is adapted to engage an ettoni'led l thc extremity 1l .surface 10-1 on the edge of the supplemental shield' or shutter 7 0 so as to move or shift Athe shield ir shutter into a position to cover An elastic member 10-t is provided which is connect-ed with the other arm 105' of the bell crank lever and to a' suitable fixed support which tends nornially to hold the arm, 103 ot the bell crank level-ont ol' operating position. it therefore the bell crank lever 10Q is rocked against the tension of the elastic member 104, the supplemental shielizl' or shutter 70 Will be shifted into the position shown in Fig.' 2. if the legend 75 is exposed before the bell crank lever is rocked. This rocking movement may be imparted to the hell crank lever by means of an arm 106 which is secured to the rock shatt 92 for movement therewith and the bell crank lever is so 'an ranged that thc arm 105 will stand normally Within the path of movement of the arm 100. Thus it will be seen thatl the actuation ot' thc key 93 will not only canse the necessary cent to he added but Will also shitt the supplemental shield orshutter `to conceal the legendA 7 after the cent l has been added, in the event that the shield (itis not shifted. A spring-controlled dog 107 which coperatcs with notches 108 is provided for holding the shield 64: in its adj usted positions.

Referring now more particularly to Figs. 9 to 14, the mechanism therein shown for indicating' when it is necessary to add the eX- tra t cent comprises a rotary indicator 109 Which is mounted upon a. suitable (ined support to'rotate aboutan' axis 110. This indi cator is preferably in the Yt'orm of a disk,the face ot which may he divided into spaces '111 and arranged in the alternate spaces is the' legend 112 Add 1o and the remaining spaces are lett blank. The portion 63 of the trame work is provided with ali-aperture 1.13 through which the legend 1'1'2 may he read. By providing each alternate space with a legend so that the intervening spaces will be blank, it 'will bc apparent that in the event that a space containing a legend is positioned so that the latter will be visible through the opening); 113, the operator will understand that 1e must be added. After the cent has been added. the indicator 109 will he given one step ot rotation in a manner to be hereinafter set forth, which will cause a blank space tn jappiiar under the opening 113. The manner ot" rotating the indicator will now be described.

vlonnected with the indicator is a. ratchet wheel 11.4 and upon alixnd support is a rcciprocatincj member 115 irrovidod in 'one odge with notches ll. nlupportcd by this mcn'rbcr 115i is :i violding dopr or pan/l 117, which latter coiiporatos with the ratchet 114. The shield (Si is' provide-d with an arm lltw, 9 of which cooperates with notches. Duringv this movement of the erm 118, the member 11" u'ill'be shifted in'one direction 'againstthe tension of the elastic member 120 which 'Will cause the dog 11i to move thel ratchet 114 one step of rotation and as this ratchet 114 is rotated the indicator 109 to which itis connected will also be rotated zi corresponding,l degree of rote.- tion. This rotation of the indicator 109 lwill be effected when the shield 64 is moved inv either direction. A reciprocating member 121, similarv to the member 115, is provided on the' opposite side of the ratchet 114 and supported by this member 121 is a yielding ,dog 122 similar to the dog 11'? and' which also coperates with the ratchet 114 and is arranged to engage the teeth of the ratchet on the side opposite to the side on which the dog1117 engages the teeth. An elastic member 123 is provided which tends normally to move the member 121 in s direction to posi tion the dog 122 to be shifted bylthe arm 103 of the bell crank lever 102 vvhenthe letter is rocked in the manner as already setort-h. i

In order to lock the key 93 against actus tion after the cent has been added,'and referring now more particularly to Figs. 2, 5 and 8, the supplementsl shield or indicstor is rovided with an 'extension 12e.

projection 125 which' latter is so arranged that when the.supplemental shieid or indicator is shifted to the position shown in Fig. 2, that is, into a position Where the legend will be concealed,.the extension 124.- will pass under' the projection 125 and therebj lock the key 93 against actuation.' rihis locking of the key 93 is accomplished by the rotary indicator 109 in a manner which will now be described. The indicator 109 is 3rovided with a plurality of radially proj-ecting lugs or fingers 126 extending from the periphery ytheieoi't' and these lugs 126'ar'e preferably "arranged 'adjacent the blank spaces 111 and are adapted to act upon an arm or lever 127 which letter is pivotedintermediate its ends es et 128 to a fixed support. A link or slide 129 is pivotally connected by one extremity as at 130 to one end of the arm or lever 127 and this link or slide is adapted to be projected beneath the pin or projection 125 on the stem of the key 93 against the tension of en elastic member 13,1. The other end of the arm or lever 12,7 is er ranged in such a posit-ion that the radially projecting ears or fingers 126 will successively engage such end and rock the arm or lever about its pivot 128 so as to move the slidev or' link 129 into the position just de- I siildit-ionel Lacasse scribed to lock the key. This operation will be etlected just es blank space 111 on the indicator 109 appears beneath the opening 113. When the shield G11- is shifted in the manner already described, and assuming the parts to be -in the position just described, the arm 118 ivili cause the dog 117 to more the indicator 1439 about its pivot.; so as to expose the legend 112. During this morement of the indicator the csr or project.' n 126'will be moved away from the extremity of the arm or lever 127 and the elastic inember 131 will. shift the slide oriink 129 to unlock the key 93. This movement of the arm or lever 127'Will cause its freeeXtremit-y to be m ved into the path of movement of the next advancing eer or projection 125 The yieiding dog 1111i is provided which cooperates With a notched Wheel 1141, which latter is secured for rotation with the indire cater 109, to lock the latter against overthrow. v
